Ohtani was on the mound, and hitting leadoff. He started his day in the first inning by striking out the side, and hitting a leadoff home run. He then went on to hit two more homers, and strike out another seven batters. Ohtani finished the game 3-for-3 with three home runs and a walk at the plate, and on the mound, he tossed six shutout innings, allowing just two hits, striking out 10 and walking three.

"Just not try to do too much, make it any bigger than it needs to be," Glasnow said. "Just game plan like any normal start and just let the extra adrenaline have my stuff play up and bit go into it trying to do too extra or too little. Just treat it like normal. I think it helped me with my last start, and I'm feeling good right now physically, so just kind of take it like a normal start."
